1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objectives: This scoping review aims to systematically explore the existing literature on golf-related injuries in adolescent golfers aged 10-19 years, focusing on injury prevalence, management strategies, and the relationship between training volume and injury risk. Design: A scoping review methodology was employed, adhering to PRISMA extension guidelines. A comprehensive search across multiple databases was conducted to identify relevant studies on injuries sustained by adolescent golfers. Method: A systematic search was performed across nine databases, including CINAHL, COCHRANE, and PUBMED, utilizing keywords related to adolescence, injury, and golf. Articles were included if they reported on golf-related injuries among participants aged 10-19 years. After screening, 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. Results: Findings reveal a significant gap in the literature regarding injury profiles of adolescent golfers, with most studies conflating data with adult populations. The majority of studies addressing golf-related injuries in adolescents focus on injuries not directly associated with the act of playing golf. Specific epidemiological data and tailored injury management strategies remain sparse. Additionally, no literature currently correlates training volume with injury risk in this demographic. Conclusions: This review highlights the need for targeted research on the unique injury risks faced by adolescent golfers. Existing studies predominantly address injuries related to external factors rather than those arising from playing golf itself. Future investigations should prioritize delineating injury profiles of adolescent golfers to inform effective injury management and prevention strategies, ultimately enhancing safety and performance in this growing demographic.
